My Flexibility The Reason I'm Here - Chiellini
Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has good hopes of playing an important part in Italy's Euro 2008 campaign.
After several years captaining Italy's Under 21 side, defender Giorgio Chiellini will finally get a chance to play in a major tournament for the senior team. The Juventus man feels he has the chance to play an important part in Roberto Donadoni's Azzurri at Euro 2008.
According to Chiellini, the reason he was called up is his ability to play in more than one role in defence.
"I'm very emotional, the hard work I've done throughout the season has paid off," he said. "Also, I think that switching from full back to center back improved my chances of getting called up."
On his club Juventus, who finished a respectable third this season: "Juve? I want to aim for both the league and the Champions League next season. We will compete on the same level with Inter, Roma, and Milan."
The 23-year-old stands a pretty good chance of starting in defence for Italy considering that both Marco Materazzi haven't been in top form this season. The Azzurri's tournament starts on 9 June against Holland.
